Sunshine Daydream w Edmund Cottage

Mould on window frames, cutlery drawer not very clean, toilet sink needed clearing- heat pump fab
Nice property but needed to be cleaner to a higher standard and have a dishwasher for health and hygiene plus a bigger grudge/freezer. Washing machine needed to be cleaned before we used it. Beds comfortable. And place cosy. Thank you.

Pre Christmas break
Great little property, walking distance to eastern beaches and local parks. Outdoor areas were an added bonus for chilled summer evenings.

We had a lovely week stay in Shirleys house. It’s close to the beach and madills farm and has a nice fenced outdoor area. House was lovely and clean and well equipped. Shirley was lovely and communication quick and easy. Would love to stay again.
